Welcome to my Toronto Community Blog!
I am professional photographer and blogger who covers public events, on the side, to document our lives. I post photos after events, and hope that people show their appreciation for the professional digital I provide the community and donate something in exchange in order to support everyone's mutual best interests. Please comment or follow up with some text for me to add to your blogs and thank you!
(please note that the attitudes or views expressed in the photos are not necessarily shared by the photographer; a photographer often merely documents what they see. I do add some writing as well but try to cover all topics without an objective documentary, photojournalistic, news-coverage type of eye. )

I got to see an amazingly, well-done and surreal performance art project complete with Monkey Man, Girl with Lizard, antique art, candles,...

I love working with A.C. Peterson in a natural environment like this with natural light. We are both attuned to nature and have been in the arts all our lives. He studied with Marlon Brando's acting teachers in New York City, and he brings his approach to the table in a manner I've never seen before. Our connection allowed us to capture this unguar...

I read about this in the Now Magazine, that Darlene Necun had been forced to leave a shelter that she built for herself on ancestral reserve land way up in Thunder Bay, and that she was facing stiff fines and had nowhere to live.

The Amazing Sci-fi Show III by Christian Aldo
These are just some fun snapshots I did near the end of the night. The art was fun and amazing. The ray gun was an incredible piece of work and the shows are always attended by people like the film makers I talked to, actors, and body-painted models that I didn't shoot this time, but I have some previo...

I have to hand it to my beautiful assistant and business associate, Josie, for being such a sport and coming out on a nice Spring afternoon that turned out to be incredibly windy, and working in some nice, secluded parkettes around the studio on Brunswick ave. in Toronto.
Stay tuned, because we're going to go back when the wind isn't against us an...
